(intense left flank pain and fever). Axial low-dose CT image (120 kV, 30 mAs,
pitch of 1.25, 5-mm collimation) (A) shows wall irregularities of
horizontal sigmoid colon (arrowheads) and infiltration of perisigmoid
fatty tissue (asterisk), suggesting diverticulitis. Axial
standard-dose CT image (120 kV, 180 mAs, pitch of 1, 5-mm collimation)
(B) shows same findings as low-dose CT.
